Even when manually disabled, "Enable UI Screen Reader" and "Text-to-Speech for Chat" settings automatically turn back ON every time I launch Minecraft. This issue specifically occurs when the game language is set to English (US or UK). If the language is Spanish, the bug does not occur.
Steps to reproduce:
Set game language to English.
Go to Settings > Accessibility and turn OFF all Text-to-Speech options.
Restart the game.
The options are back to ON.
Observed Results: The game forces accessibility audio settings at startup despite previous user preferences.
Expected Results: Settings should remain OFF as saved by the user.
